Registering Message Alias on RPL Workstation (87293)






This article was previously published under Q87293

SYMPTOMS

When starting messenger on an MS-DOS RPL workstation, the user name is not registered as a message alias. This can be confirmed by executing the NET NAME command from the RPL workstation. Output shows only the workstation name as being a registered name. This problem precludes the user from receiving net popups addressed to the user. Messages sent to the workstation name are correctly named.

RESOLUTION

Increase the number of NetBIOS names the workstation can register. This can be accomplished by increasing the NAMES parameter in the [NETBEUI] section in
      \LANMAN\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\<netcrd>\PROTOCOL.INI
				
(where <netcard> is the network interface card for the workstation in question) from 5 to 6.
